Punkins' world....SUNSHINE, seeds and no more drought!

[punkin]

A very sweet pickle. They pair up great with pinto beans, roasts and other good comfort foods. My FIL even eats them on a sandwich with a piece of cheese. My DS's best friend told me I had to make those pickles this year or else his Aunt wouldn't have anything to drink. She actually drinks the juice.

As far as cucumber size, I just use "market size" slicers. (if that description helps you any :/ )

And, I changed my mind about giving the chickens all the big ones. I'm going to use those (with seeds removed) for cucumber relish. I haven't made that in a few years.

But, the chickens will still get their share.

On the 4th night, pack in jars and seal.

"scratches head" water bath them?

Sounds yummy and different to B&B pickles.... Can I add some hot peppers?

 

[punkin]

I never have to water bath them. The syrup is so hot that the jars seal every time.

I've never thought about adding hot peppers. I suppose you could, according to your taste.

Thanks so much! I will have to give that recipe a try. My hubby loves the sweet pickles. Now I need someone to find me a fool proof garlic dill!

Can you post pickle pictures? I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to making them

Ok. This is the first stage. They are soaking in the salt water. These will set for 1 week before I do anything else to them.

I would show you the finished product, but we ate all of them.

I will try to keep updates and pictures of the process in my journal.

Oh I like those nice thick, big slices!
